On the Farm

For two weeks we have talked about life on the farm. Our class learned about the many different animals that live on the farm and how the farmer takes care of these animals each day. We discussed how crops grow and why farms are important to our lives.We ended our first week by making homemade butter! The next week we made pancakes to go along with our story, "If You Give A Pig A Pancake" by Laura Numeroff.

Shaking the butter to make it. (Boy did our arms hurt afterward!)

Yum! All of that work was worth it!

Making AB patterns with farm stickers.

Where is the cow? A book on positions.

We made horses, cows, sheep, and we even went mud bogging!

Pancake Time!

Step 1: Read the Book!

Step 2: Make the batter

Step 3: Mix the pancakes

Step 4: Bake

Step 5: Enjoy!

Welcome!

WELCOME!

Dear Parents,

WELCOME to my blog! :) I am very excited to be your child's Pre-K teacher. My goal is to learn about your child and their interests so that I can be successful in teaching him/her. I promise to do my best to teach your child according to his/her unique learning style, interests, and experiences.  

This blog will be a place that I will share some of our wonderful learning experiences within the classroom, as well as a place to post classroom updates, upcoming events, and/or school news. Feel Free to explore my blog by clicking on the tabs above.  You will find more information about me and my classroom. 


It is my job to provide your child with a wonderful school experience and make them excited about learning. I also would like to provide you with information that will help you ensure that your child is successful in school. I have listed a few helpful things below that you can do with your child at home.

Things you can do at home to help your child at school:

1. Read to your child and allow your child to "read" to you each day.
2. Find opportunities to count, discuss the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, etc; (Ex. "What color is that tree?", "How many m&m's do you have?", "What letters are in your name?", "What numbers are on the street sign?", "What shape is the clock?", etc;)
3. Give your child many opportunities to handle pencils, crayons, scissors, paper, etc;
4. Keep track of what your child is doing in school. Check the boomerang folder every day.
5. Make sure your child gets enough sleep and eats a healthy breakfast.  
   
   
   
   
   Please be sure to visit each week :) We are all ready to play, learn, and grow together! Don't forget to leave comments when you visit! :) I love reading your comments/feedback! 
   
   

Community Helpers/Transportation

Mrs. Copeland's class has learned about Community Helpers and Transportation for the past two weeks!
 
Here are some of the fun activities we did to learn about Transportation:

• Sorted different types of transportation based on how they would travel
  (land, water, or air)
• Measured cut-outs of planes, trains, and cars using uni-fix cubes
• Made a class graph of our favorite color airplane
• Made a class tally chart of who had flown on an airplane
  

Here are some of the fun things we did to learn about Community Helpers: 

• Pretended we were chefs and decorated our own cupcakes
  

•  Pretended we were artists and painted a class mural

• Pretended we were musicians and held an instrument parade

• Dressed up as Doctors and Veterinarians during center time and worked on our "patients"

On Wednesday we even went to the Fire Station! The Firemen showed us all of the equipment they use to keep our community safe. Our thanks goes out to the Pembroke Fire Station for having us, we had a blast!
